GUARD FOB AiLENDER-MACHINES.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Minn TnLEszKY, a subject of the King of Hungary, residing at Jenners, in the county of Somerset and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Guards for Calof which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in guards for calender machines. l

The primary object of thepresent invention relates to the provision of a guard associated with 'the --rolls of a calendering or paper making machine whereby injury to the operator in manipulating the paper about the rolls will be prevented.

A further object of the invention is to pro-l vide an adjustable `mount for the guard that is capable of adjustment to and from the rolls and also capable of verifying height thereof relative to the rolls.

The invention also contemplates' func-4 tioning asa doctor in stripping the rolls of pulp Wound thereon, readily understood. With the above general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the-novel construction, vcombination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, .illustrated in the accompanying drawing and then claimed.

ln the drawing forming a part of this application and in which like designating charactersrefer to corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a vertical cross sectional view of a calender or similar paper making ma, chineprovided with the present protective device operatively arranged relative thereto.

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of a portion of one of the rolls and a portion of one of the guards.

ing the' adjustable bracket arms ing the guards and f Fig. 4 is a detail for supportperspective view of' one of the adjustable bracket arms.

VIn paper making machines of the type herein disclosed, there is provided a 'series ofvertical alined rolls between which the paper pulp is adapted to travel, the rolls being preferably arranged in pairs 1n that of rolls is opposite the paper the rotation of each pair to each other. In manipulating Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 5,

rolls, and with the o venting this, a particular cured.

such an operation being carried by the lthreaded end thereof.

passing,between these rolls, the operators are liable to injury by having the hands between V the adjacent bject in view of preform of guard and mount therefor lis provided whereby the operators hands will be prevented from passing so close to the rolls as to cause injury thereto.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying drawing,

caught and mashed' calendering machiney having upright spaced parallel frame members 6 between which the there is provided a base 5 y of any standardform of paper making or' successive rollers 7 are journaled at their ends.

The improved form of guard comprises in detail, socket members 8 carried b'y the machine base 5 and having received therein vertical standards 9 upon lwhich at varied heights,'the adjustable brackets 10 for supj the guards 11 are adjustably se- Each bracket 10 is parts 12 and 13, the part 12 having an openporting formed of two ing therein whereby the said part is slidably received on the vertical standard 9 and adjustably secured in position 'by the thumb screw 14. As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, the bracket portion 13 is provided with an elongated slot 15 bracket part 12 is adapted to be projected and retained in the desired position in -said slot by the nut`17 upon the A recess18 is formed in the outer end of the bracket part 13 and is adapted to receive the end extension 19 of the guard plate 11, the guard plate 11 being of angle construction and` having a substantial knife edge 20 bea-ring with the desired tension upon the adjacent roll 7 As shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the rear angle edge extension 19 is received in the slot 18 and thelug 21 carried by the end of said bracket arm l13will engage the end edge 22 of the guard plate 11, thereby to holdthe guard through which a bolt 16 plate in proper position, it being noted that 4 one of the brackets 10 is positioned ateach Vend of the guard plate 11.

adjusting thescrew 16 in the slot 15 of the bracket ypart 13 and also regulating the height of the bracket upon the vertical standards 9.

While l have shown and described the preferable embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that various changes may be made in the details of construction thereof- Without departing from" the spirit `and scope of the invention as claimed.`

What I claim as new is l. A guard for paper making machines comprising vertical standards, brackets adjustably secured thereto', each bracket including two parts, a bolt carried by one part, the other part being slotted for the adjustable reception of said bolt, a recess formed in the outer end of the slotted part,

and an angle guard plate having an .end

vWall thereof adapted for extension on its vertical Wall received in said socket with the end of the horizontal engagement with the end of the slotted part.

l2. A guardA for paperv making machines comprising vertical standards, brackets adjustably secured thereto, each bracket including two parts, a bolt carried by one part,-

the other part being slotted for the adjustable reception of said bolt, a recess formed' -in the outer end of one of `said parts, and an angle guard plate having an end eXtension received 1n said socket with the end of the other Wall thereof adapted for engagement with the end of the slotted part.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
